I didn't have any real 'sign's... no extreme sickness or achey boobs or anything... I just had a feeling. Most months I know when I ovulate because I get those pains (can't remember the name of them) and very regularly I get more than one pain each cycle, so I guess I'm one of those people who releases more than one egg each time.

I had a miscarriage before this last pregnancy and at the time I was convinced it was twins... and the same again this time but I kept it to myself until the scan... still comes as a huge shock to get the news though!

One of my friends was visiting just after Christmas and she told me she was pregnant... and I just got a feeling that she was having twins too... again I kept it to myself... didn't want to panic her... then on the day of her scan my phone starts ringing and before even looking at the caller ID I knew it was her with her 'news'!

It makes it even more exciting now knowing that a close friend is also having twins

It's been interesting reading through this thread.

I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant with my second and won't have a scan until I'm 12 weeks. With my first pregnancy I 'knew' at 7weeks onwards that I was carrying a girl and I was right, depite everyone around me telling me I'd be having a boy because of the way I was carrying, my list of symptoms etc.

So far with this second pregnancy I don't have any intuition about what the baby's gender is but I 'feel' that there is 'something' about this pregnancy. I know I probably sound crazy when I say I feel there's 'something' but there is and I don't know what it is, it has crossed my mind that this 'feeling' I have could be trying to tell me it's twins, but I'm not sure, it would be funny if I ended up back here after my 12 week scan confirming with you all that I am carrying twins. ......We'll see.

Well i dunno about hunches. I certainly didnt expect to have twins even though my mum did so they are direct in my family lol.

I was 21 and pregnant i went for a scan at 6 weeks where she saw a baby and heartbeat and then an empty sac. second sac she said was a failed pregnancy but i was just happy to have been pregnant with the one to be honest.
I did for a second think God what awful luck cos i had previously had a missed miscarriage!! But then I thought I am pregnant thats just great even if it is one.

Went back for a scan at 8 weeks because of the missed mc and she said There is your little baby Laura, look heart beating away and she went on to check my ovaries and all the other bits and she said OMG there is another. She was hiding away behind the other baby, so my second sac turned out to be a little tot!

I had no idea xx

How lovely, what a happy ending

That is too cool! Congrats!

Oh, Oh, look!! I loved up a box today! One more to go!!! heheee

Congrats, not long to go now eh

Hey i'm glad i found this post i was looking for mums with multiples just this morning!!

I'm 11 weeks and have a scan on wednesday. This is my first pregnancy but for some reason i'm just convinced it's twins, to the point that if it's not i'll be surprised.

I had an early scan in December and they only found one sac but to find that sac i had to have an internal u/s as they couldn't find one with a normal u/s. Something just tells me that if they had trouble finding one there is a possibility they missed or wouldn't have been able to find the 2nd.

Other than the fact i have an unquenching hunger, massive boobs and belly already, My cousin who is 3 weks behind me had an early scan and they found twins!! My mum says her cousin had twins too and that when she was pregnant with me there was a possibilty i was a twin but one of them didn't survive as she bled but was still pregnant (i suppose 25 years ago they didn't have the ability to find these things out with ultrasound)

Lastly i've alreadfy been told i release more than one egg and thats the cause of my ovarian cysts!! So even if it's not this time it could be next time!!

interesting thread for me. Have this very strong conviction that i'm pregnant with twins. Not got excessive symptoms, although they are worse than what i had with DS (but that could be for any number of reasons, as i have toddler to run after now and as they say, each pregnancy can be different). I'm not particularly hankering after having twins, esp as my parents live in another country and my in laws in another city, and its not like i obsess over it. It's more like i just know it. And things like, randomly i start thinking about what i'll need, how i'll cope with twin babies and a toddler under 2, from getting everyone in the car, to making sure he doesn't trying squash them breathless, to i'll get a school girl in the afternoons to begin with to help with dinner time and bedtime for DS and DH won't be home at those times to help. It's just plain crazy that these thoughts pop into my head. And I keep saying to myself, these are just silly thoughts and that at the scan next week i'll be told it's only one. What i will say is, like with DS, i knew from about 6 weeks that he was a boy, i just knew. Everyone thought i was having a girl, got to my 20 week scan and turned around to my mum and was like, hah, i told you. Can't wait for my scan either way now, just to see bubs or if my strong hunch is right, bubies!!

hey i have enjoyed this thread and all the hunches. i had a scan at 5 weeks 4 days which showed our twins and then viability confirmed two weeks later. I didnt have any massive hunches as such although twins are rife in both families. Me included. And I was on Clomid with a high chance. I know I just feel so calm about everything. Which is a bit strange for a stresser like me!!!

When me and DH first met ten years ago we joked that we would have twins boys and name them after our dads as a joke (Paddy & Colin) Um no. And now I think yes maybe we knew something!! Ha ha x
